Traveling with your pup and want to dine out without leaving them behind? I totally get it—after years of road-tripping with my four-legged sidekick, I’ve found that some of the best memories happen over a meal shared outdoors. Whether you’re craving brunch in a sunny courtyard or a burger on a breezy patio, you’ll find plenty of dog-friendly restaurants across the USA that welcome both you and your furry friend with open arms (and maybe even a biscuit). Let me point you toward the spots where the food is great, the vibe is relaxed, and your dog is part of the experience.
